“Thomas told me in this lift on the way down to the show that the first time he fell in love with electronic music was in this building in 1992,” Fred Again.. wrote on social media this morning. “He also told me hasn’t played a proper set without the mask on for 24 years. I didn’t know what to say to either of those things and I still don’t. All I said to him at the end is that I hope it isn’t 24 years til the next.”

Daft Punk's new album, Random Access Memories, is another testament to creativity equating to longevity. For a group that's been producing music and collaborating with other industry virtuoso's for 20 sum odd years, they sound as fresh as ever. Coming off of the club-remixed hit of the Tron Legacy soundtrack, Random Access Memories, is a record completely independent of tie-ins, allowing the duo to take each track in new and interesting directions. 

This album puts you in a good mood.

It doesn't grandstand, it doesn't make many statements, but in a day and age where everyone and their mother has 'something to say', an album that's truly about the music couldn't be more refreshing. 

If you're a life long fan, got in during the Tron uprising, or hardly know the 'android beings' that make up Daft Punk, do yourself a favor. 

Listen to this album. You'll be happy. You'll smile. And if the track 'Lose Yourself to Dance' has any sway over you... you just might.

"Lights!  I remember lights..."

Remember the last time Daft Punk put on a big light show?  I do.  It changed the world.

Alive 2013 it is not, but still pretty damn cool.

"It's very strange how electronic music formatted itself and forgot that its roots are about freedom and the acceptance of every race, gender, and style of music into this big party," says Bangalter.
